[古典] Art Pepper - Gettin' Together UCGO9026 SACD ISO

Japanese pressing. Reissue features the high-fidelity SHM-SACD format (fully compatible with standard SACD player, but it does not play on standard CD players).

As a sort of follow-up to Art Pepper's match up with Miles Davis's trio in the 1957 classic Art Pepper Meets the RhythmS ection, Pepper utilizes Davis's sidemen on this 1960 near-classic. In addition to pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, trumpeter Conte Candoli makes the group a quintet on four of the eight numbers. This time around, rather than emphasizing standards, Pepper performs just three ("Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise," Thelonious Monk's "Rhythm-A-Ning" and "The Way You Look Tonight") and includes three originals of his own: "Diane," "Bijou the Poodle" and "Gettin' Together." The music is all very straight ahead and bop-oriented, but as usual, Pepper brings something very personal and unique to his playing; he sounds like no one else.
